been bred for yielding the greatest
amount of fats in her milk, may have
an amount of fat which does not con-
duce to healthy condition in her calf.
Some of the worst cases of securing we
have ever had have been where the
calves have sucked the COW. That too
much of the fats is often taken from
the milk we have no doubt, but we also
believe that the greatest amount of
trouble is made by too sudden and too
great changes from natures methods,
more than in the composition of the
feeds.
Normally the calf takes his food at
ninety-eight degrees temperature, and
slowly, as it is drawn from the udder.
The process of sucking the milk ex-
cites the salivary glands, and the
saliva is mixed with its food, which is
taken at frequent intervals. What,
now, is the course taken where the
calf is taught to drink? Ordinarily the
food is given but twice a day. A good
feed is given, which is taken into the
stomach in fraction of the time re-
quired to take it from the COW, and a
stomach which has long been empty.
Add to this what is often the case,
that the milk is given at the tempera-
ture of the milk-room or creamery
from thirty to fifty degrees below its
normal condition-and what wonder
they do not do well?
Our calves are fed three times day
on milk warmed to blood heat. Mr.. Bur-
nett once well said that "the difference
of feeding twice or three times day
might seem very small one, but it
was very often the difference between
live calf and dead one" Again,
the change from whole to skinned
milk should be very gradual, a part only
of milk from which part of the cream
has been taken being added to the new
milk. In few days add little more,
till in months time it is brought en-
tirely to skim-milk.
For added feed we have found lin
seed-meal, ground oats and wheat mid
dlings all good. The first and last
should be mixed with just enough cold
water to moisten, and then boiling water
added to make finnish pudding when
cold. In any additions to the feed
make them very gradual, as in chang
ing the milk. OF one thing we feel
tolerably certain, that is that no care
full dairyman who has good Jersey cows
can afford to raise calves on new milk
taken from the COW.

Among the HOrSemen.

The well-known horseman, George II.
Hicks of Beacon Park, who saw the
colt-race at Ticonderoga on the 10th
ultimo, was much pleased with all of
the young trotters engaged in that
event, particularly Lady Cults, the
winner. Mr., Hicks visited several
breeders in Vermont and New York,
and found some very promising Young
stock growing up, several of which are
mentioned below. The fine size of
most of these colts and FLIES is par
ticularly noticeable. He states that at
r. X. Hamilton's, Fair Haven, VT, he
saw some fine specimens of trotting
stock, notable among which was II. 7.

1885 and the five-year-old race in 1886

Sarsaparilla is fully confirmed by the vol

Written for the Waterman.
Modest Worth.
by s. MINERVA BoYCE.

Close by a little murmuring stream
A modest violet grew;
Meath sylvan shade the mondays beam
Meier kissed its petals blue.
The soft spring zephyrs sighed in vain
To WOO the fairy flower;
The maiden tripping throgh the lane
Oft sought 1t for her bower.
A 4" Benjamin of naughty mien
Looked on with Jealous eye;
o what art thou-a royal queen,
That none may pass thee by?
Thy fragile form and pale blue face
Would ill-become court;
An idle wind of easy grace
Might bear thee off in sport.
While shall bloom in sweet content,
Unframed by idle rover.
My life like thine shall not he spent
In vain and weak endeavOr."
The violet bowed its modest head,
In fear of coming i'll;
And silently its tears were shed
And mingled with the ril.
A water nymph, who fingered near,
Reached forth her magic wand
When lol a change, each fallen tear
Was pearl upon the sand,
The nymph rebuked the naughty flower,
And left 1t blushlng red
A breeze came by that self-same hour
And kissed a low-bowed head.
BY children playing in the sand
The lovely pearls were found;
And now afar, in foreign land,
Adorn a royal crown.
The Benjamin, with red, red face
"a wildling of the wood,
How modest worth could find place
Hath never understood.

A Good Colt.

While at Rochester, at the Board
meeting, we saw good colt owned and
shown by our old friend, V. M. Hub
bard. He is a fine black, and will be
two years old the 9TH of June,
weighed eight hundred forty pounds at
twenty months old and stands 143. He
was sired by Mr.. Battell's "Thought I"
and out of a Woodbury-Sherman Nor
gan. He is of good style and action, and
we congratulate Mr.. Hubbard on having
so good colt.

That Tired FEELING

Is 50 general at this season that every one
knows what is meant by the expression.
A change of season, climate or of life has
such depressing effect upon the body that
one feels all tired out, almost completely
Frustrated, the appetite is lost and there is
no ambition TO do anything. The whole
tendency of the system is downward. In
this condition Hoods Sarsaparilla is just
the medicine needed. 1t purifies the blood
sharpens the appetite, overcomes the tired
feeling and invigorates every function of
the body. Try it.

Why, mother, Susie Smith says her

which the man said was just as good as
Hoods, but they did not like it and have
thrown it away. Can anybody else make it
as good as Hoods?"

TAKE NoTIcE.-The great popularity of
Hoods Sarsaparilla has led some unprin-
cipled men to use it as bait to draw GUS
toners TO their stores, and then, by unfair
representations, endeavor to sell other
kinds. 1t is unnecessary for us TO caution
those who have tried Hoods Sarsaparila
and know its peculiar merit. But to those
who have never taken it we say, Don't be
imposed upon. Insist upon having Hoods
Sarsaparilla and take no other. The men
who claim that their preparations are 9 as
good as Hoods" by so doing admit that
Hoods is the standard and possesses pecu-
liar merit which they try in vain to reach.

Our Daily Bread.

Heavy and sour bread or biscuit have vast influence through the digestive organs upon the measure of health We enjoy. How impor. tant to our present happiness and future usefulness the blessing oi good health and sound Constitu. tidu are, we can only realize when we have lost them, and when 1t Is too late to repair the damage. And yet, notwithstanding these facts, thousands of persons daily jeop- ardize not only their health, out their lives, and the health and lives of others, by using ariiclesin the preparation of their food the purity and heathfulness of which they know nothing. Perhaps a lew cents may have been saved, or it may have been more convent ent to obtain the articles used, and the housekeeper takes the re- sponsibility and possibly will never know the mischief that has been wrought. Paterfanilias may have spells of headache, Johnny may have lost his appetite, Susie may look pale; if so, the true cause is rarely suspected, The weather, or the lack of out door air, or some other cause, is given, and the unwholesome, poisonous system of adulterated food goes on. Next to the flour, which should be made of good, sound wheat and not ground too fine, the yeast or baking powder, which furnishes the rising properties, is of the greatest importance, and of the two we prefer baking powder, and always use the Royal, aS we thereby retain the original proper ties O. the wheat, no ferneutatiOt taking place. The acton of the Royal Baking Powder upon the dough is simply to swell 1t and form little cells through every part. These cells are filled with carbonic acid gas, which passes off during the process of baking,
 rhe Royal is made from pure grape acid, and i. k the action Of this acid upon highly carboniztd bicarbouate of soda tiGt generates the gas alluded to; and these m grcdientS are So pure and so per. fec,ly fitted, tested and adapted to each other, that the action is mild and permanent, and iS continued during the whole lime of baking, and no residue ofp0iSnnous ingrr- dients remains to undermine the health. no heavy hiscuitt, no sour bread, but if directions are followed every article prepared with the Royal Baking Powder will be fond sweet and wholesome.

The Country's Salvation.

But it is well for the country that the women of the land are still capable of being shocked by the brooches of trust recorded so frequently, and it will be well fo: the future of the country and fer the men of coming generations if the wives and mothers will take even a firmer stand on the side of morality and virtue, and especially if they will instil into the minds of their sons that there are things more to be desired in this world than riches: that to do right 10 act from principle, is better tlan to be successful.
